Abstract	The present article describes the motivation, concept and implementation of an introductory course on the ethics of engineering. The main goal of the course is to endow aspiring engineers with the abilities to assume social, ecological and ethical responsibility and leadership in highly innovative fields at the intersection of technology and society. Consequently, the course emphasises interaction among students of different study programmes and hence among related academic disciplines. This article starts with a brief overview of courses that provided educational inspiration for the design of the course outlined in the following. The teaching and learning concept follows a project-based seminar approach, which relies on continuous and collaborative development of student projects. The projects have to be of a multiplier nature which can act as a driving motivator for the students and allows for a sensitizing effect beyond the limits of the seminar group. The course has won the teaching prize of the University of Lübeck in 2017, the second one to be awarded since its introduction. This is largely to be attributed to the students' strong and highly motivated efforts which culminated in a public discussion on the use of robotics and artificial intelligence in health care as well as to an introductory video on the challenges associated with nanotechnology.
